This quote is a good one to remember on days like today (for me) so I thought I would share its beauty.
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;
This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Awesome quote! If everyone lived by those rules earth would be a better place! I got so frustrated the other day when I was driving the children to school. Everyone in that parking lot was so darn selfish and wouldn’t let people in or out. Simple kindness goes a long way…
This is very beautiful indeed. Thanks for sharing.
